Hey

I´m considering buying Photoshop. But I can´t see the difference between the Single app and Photography. The single app seems to be way more expensive, and the photography options seems to include photoshop. Are there different features? Is the photography option have kind of a "light" version of Photoshop?

Hope you you can help me and please forgive me for eventual grammatical mistakes, not a native speaking guy here

The single-app Photoshop plan doesn't include Lightroom but it does give you the full version of Adobe Fresco as well as the premium version of Creative Cloud Express, plus more online cloud storage.

 

It also can be purchased month-to-month, whereas the Photography plans cannot.

 

This plan comparison table should make everything clearer.

 

Customers usually find one of the three Photography-related plans to be of better value – but it definitely depends on your needs.

This document explains the differences in a nutshell

Differences between Photoshop and Creative Cloud Photography Programs

The Photoshop Photography Plan was the precursor to the Creative Cloud Photography Plan is defunct.

Photoshop is identical on both plans.

If Lightroom interests you and you don't care about Cloud storage (20GB single app vs 2GB Photography Plan) or Typekit or Creative Cloud Market then the Photography Plan is for you.

The other point of note is that the Single App has a monthly plan option (pay by the month, cancel at any time) in addition to the usual 12 month plans. The Photography Plan is always a 12 month commitment. If you're happy with 12 months then get the Photography Plan.

Think of the Photography package as a "sale" or "special offer.'

It is the same Photoshop as in the single application, so it makes no sense to get the single app when you can get both for less.
